Work as a Remedy Good Practices Book EN

Rubén, 24 Crohn’s flares can happen at any time, affecting my physical health with pain and exhaustion, and leaving a mark on my mental well-being. The constant uncertainty and stress of living with a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Accepting this reality has been a challenging process, but it has helped me discover my personal strength. Although there are days when I feel limited, I have learned to adapt and keep moving forward. This experience has taught me to value what I am capable of overcoming and to appreciate every small achievement in my daily life. Job Details I work in an office where my day-to-day tasks are quite varied. I focus on content creation, which includes everything from writing engaging texts and designing materials to managing publications across different platforms. Additionally, I actively participate in the management and development of social and educational projects, allowing me to contribute to initiatives that have a positive impact on society. I particularly enjoy this job because it combines creativity and organization, two areas I deeply enjoy working in. Every task I take on challenges me to develop new skills and refine the ones I already have. Knowing that what I do can make a difference—whether it’s improving educational processes or supporting significant social projects—gives me great personal satisfaction. Beyond that, feeling useful and knowing that my efforts serve a clear purpose is something I consider essential to staying motivated and focused, even on days when Crohn’s disease presents additional challenges. My name is Rubén, I am 24 years old, and I work in an office. For the past few years, I have been living with Crohn’s disease, a chronic condition that affects the digestive system. It is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can cause inflammation anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, although it typically affects the small intestine and colon. Crohn’s has no cure and manifests differently in each person. The most common symptoms include abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, extreme fatigue, weight loss, and occasional fever. In addition, complications such as intestinal blockages or nutritional deficiencies can arise, making it a difficult condition to manage. Although the symptoms are not always visible, the physical and emotional impact is significant.
